Recovery Time for Breast Reduction and Arm Lift Combination?

Dlite
I know that people often go back to work in a couple of weeks from an arm lift or breast reduction but I am wondering if the surgical combination of the two might mean more downtime.In general, how long am I going to need help at home? I may need to hire a nurse if it is going to be an extended period of time.
